As a wedding photographer, this unique location is so exciting because it's offers so much more than any other location in Sioux Falls or the area. It's got it's own character, is beautiful on it's own and can be touched up with your own flare. Perfect for weddings, corporate events and parties! Congrats on this lovely space!

I was considering this facility for a wedding reception and had talked to Melissa, all seemed…read moregreat, the photos online looked great. My wedding planner called me and said there were 3 people in line for my date and so Melissa was sending me a contract to sign and invoice for half the cost, and I needed to sign and pay within 24 hours or I would lose the date. I didn't have time to see the venue in person prior to signing. I paid and signed. The first 2 people I told that I had booked that venue told me that they had been to a wedding there and it was not a well kept or updated venue when they saw it. I then went to an open house and saw the space for myself. I had to use the restroom when I first got there and honestly felt like I was using the restroom at a gas station in Belvedere, SD. (No offense - but if you have been there, you know.). I then went out and looked at the venue. The carpet in the bridal suite was loose and all bunched up by the doorway when you walked in. The whole Facility didn't appear to have been updated in years. I only peaked in the kitchen, but it was very small and appeared dirty, which I found odd for an open house. I decided that the location would not work for us. Based on these reasons and several other things I noted at the open house, including staff interactions with other guests and the general disrepair of the building. I found another venue and called Melissa to cancel and ask if there was any possibility of receiving a partial refund of my down payment (half of the full cost of renting venue) if they were able to rebook. Melissa said no, and immediately seemed to become very defensive and aggressively told me that we had a contact that was legally binding. My tone had been kind, polite and not at all aggressive. I then told her that I didn't want to offend her but I wanted to let her know why I felt the venue wouldn't work for us. (As a business owner myself I always want the feedback to know what people are thinking.). As I calmly outlined what I described above, she started yelling over me. Stating amongst other things that the bathrooms were remodeled in 2017 and no one has EVER told them that the venue was anything other than top notch - the other 1 star reviews here contradict that. I finally hung up on her as she had elevated to screaming in my ear. This for me went from, "This is not a venue I would use for a wedding." To not being willing to recommend it for anyone due to the extremely unprofessional response from Melissa. After posting this review on Google - Melissa started sending her "flying monkeys" to attack me - stirring up as much drama as she can - going as far as making up stories about me and such. She has gone beyond unprofessional to absolutely unhinged.

My husband and I had passed by the Old Courthouse Museum many times since moving to Sioux Falls,…read morebut for Mother's Day we decided to do something a little different and finally stop in for a visit. We both love old historical museums, and this turned out to be one of the nicest surprises we've had since making South Dakota our home. The courthouse itself is beautifully restored. The architecture alone is worth the visit. Walking through the building really gives you an appreciation for the craftsmanship of another era. One thing that especially fascinated me were the old architectural drawings on display. It honestly amazed me to think that all of those detailed designs were created entirely by hand without computers or modern drafting programs. The amount of patience and talent required must have been incredible. The museum gives a wonderful glimpse into the early history of Sioux Falls and how different life once was here. Looking through the exhibits, furnishings, photographs, and displays made me reflect on how much simpler life must have seemed back then, even though I know it certainly had its own hardships. As newer residents of Sioux Falls, it also helped us feel more connected to the city we now call home. Sometimes when you move somewhere new, you know the streets and stores first, but not the story underneath them. This museum helped fill in some of those gaps for us. We also wound up spending far too much time in the gift shop and left with quite a few souvenirs. Mostly though, I just enjoyed spending the afternoon strolling through the museum with my honey, learning a little more about the history of the community we've become a part of. It made for a very peaceful and memorable Mother's Day.

We traveled from Wisconsin to catch the Struts at the District. The venue is conveniently situated…read morewithin a one block walk of two nearby hotels. A bonus when you can walk to/from a show. If you need to kill time there's also a major mall across the parking lot. The District is attached to a restaurant (Roam). The restaurant has modern decor and is a fun environment. I wouldn't sing praises for the food, but it's a solid option when catching a show. The District is basically a mid size open box building with a stage at the front. We were on the rail so we could see perfectly. I have no complaint about acoustics within the building. There's a "U" shaped balcony above the concert floor. If you're on the balcony rail you would be able to see the show with no difficulty at all. My guess is the venue comfortable capacity is about 1,000 people. We only had water during our show, but I was incredibly impressed that a bottle of water only cost $2. I've been to similar venues in Milwaukee and Chicago and generally pay upwards of $5 just for a water. All in all The District is a nice midsize event venue Sioux Falls should be proud to call their own.

Chef Dominique knows that there is one way to peoples' hearts, through their stomachs…read more I've eaten Chef Dominique's food at several events from weddings at their banquet facility in the Downtown Shriver's Square to small house parties and picnics. He used to be the Executive Chef at Theo's and then 601 Arota in town and still serves many of the dishes they served there (now its the only place you can get them), but he has also come up with a variety of cool new dishes along the way. If you have any special requests, he can make just about anything. I think he has had the reputation of being upscale and high-end but I've heard from lots of people that they can do reasonable packages for those on a budget as well. I've been to events where he's catered burgers and salads. His staff is great to work with and they're very conscious about making sure the event is just what you wanted.
